Steve Clarke has insisted he has given Angus Gunn no guarantees he will be the new Scotland No.1 after persuading the Norwich City keeper to switch allegiances from England.Gunn, whose dad Bryan Gunn was capped six times for Scotland, came through the English youth group ranks and had previously resisted chances to play for Scotland.
But with the gloves up for grabs due to Craig Gordon’s long-term injury absence, the 27-year-old has been named alongside Hearts’ Zander Clark and Motherwell captain Liam Kelly in boss Clarke’s squad for this month’s Euro qualifying double header against Cyprus and Spain.That trio don’t have a single cap between them and Gunn is expected to get the nod - although Clarke is adamant that all three will get the chance to impress in training before the Cyprus clash at Hampden on March 25.
He said: “The keepers have a clean slate. None of them have got any caps."It’s a clear week into the first game, so they have to show me, John Carver and Chris Woods, the goalkeeping coach, what they can do and then we’ll make a choice.“I don’t guarantee anyone a game.
I did that once way back early in my managerial career and it was the wrong thing to do. I have never done it again.”On Gunn’s situation, Clarke admitted that the Norwich keeper may well feel that his chance to break into the English full set-up has gone - hence the decision to switch to Scotland.
